Cave Courtesy: a soothing story and meditation for children

Full Episode description

Daisy Beagle catches a new scent on the breeze and follows it through the Ahway Island Forest. What will the curious dog find?

Narrator: Female

Story Begins: 3:40

Cave Courtesy Excerpt:

Daisy tapped her feet excitedly as she found the trail. It was definitely getting clearer the closer she got to the center of the forest. It smelled like a juicy orange, mixed with the flowery scent of a white rose. Daisy smiled. It was a lovely smell indeed.

Soon, the sweet scent drifted to the right, off the main trail. Now, the smell had changed again. A warm vanilla scent had added to the rose and orange layers. The combined scents wafting on the breeze evoked a feeling of someplace warm and caring to the little dog. Daisy slowed at the edge of the path and peeked between two bushes. There were a lot of trees in that direction, but she really wanted to find this interesting smell.
